My age

    I am on a dating site. At first I zoned into one on one messaging users. Have recently decided to take up the social side of things meeting up with groups. Similiar to boards beers.

    Joining up I gave my age as two years plus to act as a deter in case there was anyone online that I knew in real life. This I realise was a silly thought because if this happens and is the case sure we're both there.
    Another reason is because I dont get on with my sister. She can be obsessive and vicious and have often hacked into my email. Really dont want her to stalk me and give me stick. She would be a very backwards person and would not be open to online dating and would give stick about such a thing.

    I have wanted to change my DOB on site so many times but I am afraid that I am too actively involved now and that it would look strange to others where my age would go from 29 to 27. What do you think I should do? And say for example you were online on a similiar site and you were to meet another in my situation - what would

    You're overthinking it.
    Just change it if bothers you now. Or else leave it alone. Or whatever.

    Whatever it is you're going to do, just do it.

    How does your sister "hack" into your emails? :confused: If she has your password, then change it to something she won't know/guess. Don't have the same password for all your online accounts (email, dating sites, Facebook, etc). If you have your own computer, put a password on that too.

    If she's actually hacking into your emails then threaten to call the police.

    Just change it back op. Or if you're really worried about it looking strange,just explain that you're a little worried about anonymity,they'll definitly understand because they're in the same boat. As for your sister,tell her to take a hike. Change your password regularly to a random series of numbers and letters and keep it written down somewhere safe like in your wallet or a little box with a lock. It may be extreme but it'll do the job and you'll have all the privacy you're entitled to :)
